Notable increases among these main groups with high weights were transport (4.4%); food and non-alcoholic beverages (4.3%) and housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels (1.5%).
Other increases were alcoholic beverages and tobacco (6.4%); restaurants and hotels (5.1%); health (2.5%); education (1.9%); miscellaneous goods and services (1.4%) and furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance (1.1%).
